Before the announcement about the Inara statue is even cold, Diamond Select Toys has already announced the next statue coming out after that: “Zoe’s Revenge.”
Continuing the DST line of Serenity statues, this action-packed sculpt features the first mate of Serenity, Zoe! With her husband killed by Reavers and her Captain on a mission of his own, this 7″ piece demonstrates how this lovely lady takes care of her own out in the black. Sculpted by Michael Norman and limited to 1,000 pieces, each statue features a magnetically attached Zoe in scale with the previously released action figures as well as a numbered base with matching box and Certificate of Authenticity.
I’m overjoyed to see more Serenity stuff coming out, and I love all of it. That said, I’m going to need to see this one more closely before I decide what I think. The face doesn’t look quite right to me, but then neither did the promo pic of the “River Triumphant” statue and I was happy with the actual result. Retail price isn’t listed yet but I think it’s safe to say it’ll be the same $99 as the other two.
And how cool is it that they’re doing the women first? Take that, male chauvinistic action figure manufacturers!
Someone’s gotta interview them and ask them “The Joss Question,” but rephrased as “So why do you create such strong female statues?”
As with Inara, this one looks very little like Zoe. I think I’ll pass.
I am definitely passing on this. In fact I am passing on all of them so far….
maybe she’s Zoe’s doughter from Wash 20 years later?
i emailed Diamond Select Toys and they said they canceled the statue “due to lack of dealer interest.” Too bad. The world needs more Serenity goodies
